Read and Think

Proverbs 20 begins with warnings about things that lead people astray. It is an honor for a man to keep aloof from strife, but every fool will be quarreling. The sluggard will not plow by reason of the winter; therefore he shall beg in harvest, and have nothing.

No one is perfect. Who can say, I have made my heart pure. I am clean and without sin? The answer is no one. Still, our actions show our hearts. Even a child makes himself known by his doings, whether his work is pure, and whether it is right.

God made us and guides us. The hearing ear, and the seeing eye, Yahweh has made even both of them. Don't say, I will pay back evil. Wait for Yahweh, and he will save you. A man's steps are from Yahweh. The spirit of man is Yahweh's lamp, searching all his innermost parts.
